Chapter 237: Finally! Let''s Loot!


    Jings water clone wasted no time in speeding towards Ying and the others with the te. It took around five minutes before it appeared at the ancient pce. Everyone looked at it with confusion and wariness. Despite its naked look, these disciples have been put through the wringer for thest few days. Anything new and unusual was to be feared and ced on guard against. So, in the eyes of the disciples, this naked girl made of water could be some sort of new ghost that wanted to kill them all.


    Jing ignored the eyes of everyone and made it to the top of the stairs leading to the pces doors. This waswhereYing, Bing, Jie, and... Zhai Shang was sitting? She formed an umbre of water that blocked the view of her body and held it in front of Shangs eyes. It was too early for him to see something like this of her. This body of hers might be a clones body but its bodily features are identical to her original bodys.


    Jing! Shang called out.


    Dont tell me this is Hu Taos recement... Jing nced towardYing.


    Hes way better than Hu Tao could ever be! Ying defended her choice.


    Jing couldnt help but sigh as she reached into her naval and took out the te floating within her stomach.


    Do you know him, Jing? Jie felt something was off.


    I guess you could say that...


    Why was she only blocking the view of herself from Zhai only? Didnt that mean that she had some sort of connection or rtionship with him? Jie and Bing started whispering to themselves. Wondering what kind of history Jing had with Zhai.


    Do you think hes another ve? Bing guessed.


    That cant be it... If Hu Tao was here, she wouldnt do that. Jie figured.


    Thats true... Shes also letting me look all I want. Bing wasnt particrly happy about this though.


    The Empress had no sex appeal in his eyes whatsoever. Small butt, small bust, tiny body, and dark skin. None of them were qualities that Bing looked for in a woman. However, she was very scary and strong. This was more than enough to make up for herck of appearance to Bing.


    Im her boyfriend! Zhai Shang is the boyfriend of Jing! Zhai Shang was not ashamed to let everyone know of their rtionship.


    If anything, he was ted to finally get it off his chest. He didnt care for the bewildered looks in the eyes of his fellow disciples or looks of disdain. His love for her went beyond his position in the sect. Shang couldnt control the rapid beating of his heart once he saw that familiar figure appear at the bottom of the stairs.


    Everyone looked at Shang as if he was crazy. What the hell was he screaming about? Before anyone could fully take in the words shouted by Shang, a great change took ce in their surroundings that quickly took hold of their attention. The fog was disappearing! The endless white fog that covered every part of the Endless ins of Yin was rapidlyrecedinginto the distance. No one could believe their eyes nor understand why this was happening.


    As everyones attention was taken away, Jing mouthed a few words to Shang.


    Save it for the real Jing, not a clone.


    Ying also used this time wisely. She snatched the te given to her by Jing and inserted it into the indented spot in the pce doors. Now all three tes were in and Ying figured the doors could be opened now.


    Come on! Lets go! Ying whispered to the group.


    Bing and Jie quickly followed behind her. Shang stayed behind with Jings water clone.


    Go. She told him.


    Jing jumped off the top of the stairs and sted a funnel of water into the air to capture everyones attention. After doing that, she soon sted high-pressure jets of water towards the strongest cultivators here, excluding Wuying Tang, Gong Jun, and Juju. Then she ran into the now clearer forest without a word after almost killing her fellow disciples. She was soon chased by those she nearly assassinated and this gave the group more time to explore inside the ancient pce.


    Of course, her distraction onlysted for a few seconds for those she didnt target. It wasnt like she could have everyone there chase after her even if she tried killing them all. Not everyone was mesmerized by the disappearing fog. But Jing felt that those few seconds she gave them were more than enough. They were her angels after all.


    Excluding Jie and Shang, Bing and Ying should be enough to take care of them if they run into any trouble. If not, they should be able to escape with Shangs movement spells. Jing soon dissolved herself as her job wasplete. Leaving those following after her very confused and pissed off. The thing that tried killing them killed itself! Now they just wasted time chasing after it for nothing.


    Follow me! The Mystic me is this way! Ying ran forward with everyone behind her.


    They ignored the luxurious interior of the entrance of the pce and followed Ying. As they made it past the entrance of the pce, ghosts of all kinds began to show up. Ying grinned as he gripped her amulet in her left hand and sword in her right. Bing and the others watched Ying tear through the frightening butlers and maids with rtive ease. Her huge sword sliced them in half as if they were light pieces of cloth while her amulet captured their remains.


    The hallway was shed, crushed, sliced, and torn apart by Yings fierce swordsmanship. Bing kept his eye out for any surprises and his shield raised. If Ying ran into something she couldnt handle, he would jump in and defend against it for her. Then the two of them would work together to take out the ghost. Thankfully though, their group didnt encounter anything like that.


    Eventually, Ying led them to a dark spiral staircase that extended into the basement of the pce. Bing was the first to go down, Shang second, Jie third, and Yingst. Ying was upset that she could walk behind Bing but knew that if something attacked them on these spiral stairs, she would be helpless to retaliate. Her sword was too big to be used effectively on these narrow stairs. If she tried using her mes, she would burn everyone behind and in front of her.


    Bing had to squeeze himself down the stairs because of how narrow it was. His arms were scrapped against the wall and pir in the middle of the spiral stairs. The only thing he could do was walk down and raise or lower his shield. He wasnt too upset about this, what more did he need to protect himself or those behind him? While his arms were ufortable, a little difort was nothingpared to the safety of himself and those behind him.


    I wonder why the ghosts didnt chase us down here. Ying casually asked.


    Please dont jinx us. Bing just hoped they could make it to the bottom of these stairs already. It has been more than five minutes of them walking down them.


    Maybe theres something that even the ghosts are afraid of down here. Shang shared his thoughts.


    Then are we walking straight to our deaths? Jie questioned.


    Just because the ghosts are afraid, doesnt mean we have to be. Ying tried to calm everyones nerves. Dont forget you have me! Yings hair lit up with a bright orange light and allowed the rest of the group to see more of the staircase they were walking down on.


    Lets get off this staircase first before talking about anything... Bing said.


    Is there even an end to this stupid thing?! Ying could feel the presence of the Mystic me below her.


    Hmm... This question got Shang thinking.


    He ced a talisman on the wall of the staircase. Thirty secondster, he ced a different talisman on the wall. Shang continued to ce talismans on the wall every thirty seconds to see if what Ying said had any merit. Of course, the others questioned him on what he was doing and if it could help them.


    It might. Shang answered.


    The results of his testing didnt take too long toe to light. After several more minutes of walking down the endless staircase, eventually, the group stumbled upon talismans stuck to the walls.


    Were in an illusion or on a spirit tool. Shang shared.


    Hang on! I can find out which it is! Ying shouted.


    Ying struggled to turn around with Hao Gang giving her trouble in this endeavor. After a few seconds of struggling, she crouched down low and punched the staircase with all of her strength. The staircase chipped from her powerful punch and Ying grabbed that chip. With even more difficulty, Ying ced the piece from the staircase into the mouth hidden behind Hao Gangs demonic eye.


    Hehehehe... It looks like it wasnt an illusion after all! Ying victoriouslyughed as her sword started transforming into a case of stairs with a sword hilt.
